Lord Viscount MELVILLE presented a petition from Edin burgh against any alteration of the thinking System. The Earl of LAUDERDA LE presented a petition from Pollockshaw, for revision of the Corn Laws,—Laid on • the table. Mr. IlLacxnu fix and several Members front the Commons brought up some private Bills, which were read a first time. BANKS OF .SCOTLAND AND IRELAND. • j The Earl of LIVERPOOL moned, pursuant to notice, for the appointment of a Select Committee, to consider the expe diem°, of extending the Promissory Notes Bill to Scotland and lieland.—The motion was agreed to. Several Peers were then nominated to form the Committee. The Earl of LARDEILDALE, land MELVILLE, the Earl of LtvERPOOL, Lord Kiwi, the Marquis of LANSDOWN, Lord CA LuDon, and Lord DUDLEY and WAnn, watramong the Committee. . . ...... The Earl of LIVERPOOL then moved that the several pe titions on the subject of Banking in Ireland and Scotland be referred to the the said Committee. Earl GROSVENOR expressed surprise that his :Majesty's Government, after obtaining so much information on the sub ject of Banking, should refer the question to a Committee. He thought for one, that it would have been a More dignified pro ceedingto have come forward with a Bill to regulate the Bank ing system in the United Kingdom. It appeared that Govern. meat had been alarmed by the cry of Malachi 411alagrowther. —(A laugh.)--The more he c,onsitiered the subject, the more he was convinced there could be no confidence in the country, unless the suggestion made by himself last night was adopted. There could be no eontience among the lower classes, it' the Country Bankers were not compelled to pay gold for their notes. A law compelling them to pay gold would be an ad vantage t o th e Bankers themselves, because it would give them stability in the eyes of the public. The Earl of LIVERPUt- H riot rise to enter into discus sion of the subject, which must shortly occu py the attention of a Select Committee but he could not avoid saying the Noble , Earl's argument on the question was Of an extraordinary nature: h was under a tood, that it became necessary to put an end to the circulation of one and two pound notes in England, and the question arose whether it would be expedient to extend the provisions aim Act for that purpose to Ireland anti Scotland. —TIN intentions of Government had been expressed ; they wished to extend the Bill to Ireland and Scotland, Ina not mud. denly. A general sentiment had prevailed in Scotland against that extension, anti the table was covered with rtittons on the subject'. What was then the most , decorous count. of proceed. ing ? Why, to recommend the appointment of u Couierittee to inquire into the fads stated in those petitions, and see whether the Timeworn; of the Bill ought to be extended to Scotland and Ireland or not. If the Noble ford who considered the proceed. of extending the Act to S.,lcot. ing a matter of form, would see who were the Members of the Committee, he 'you'd have a different opinion respecting the inquiry. The Noble Earl tool heard nothing to Ow l his own opinion respecting the expeiliencY though he allowed that there bold and Ireland, but still it was desirable for the satisfaction. Lord OnosvErzon explained. might°f all e p b E ft e r a:r:l : t o: e t °. I v g l e g i3 t e t h r a D e t theion in subject alarm investiga te d .i. it in Scotland , re specting anticipated effects of the measure in contemplaton, had not heard the sligh test r eason given for extending it to that country, where the people were perfectly aatistled with the ex. itttn system. Why not return to the sante state us Wore the Ban Restrictions 4 Or at lea st wh y should not his MajostY's Ministers try firm, how the me asure would act in England ? If It acted qui e tly an d p r osperously , and tamed out to be ofhene fit, thet might then have some ground to propo se i ts extens i on to Scot and. Th er e was no immediate cause to change the sys tem which had been so long and so advantageously established' sin that COLlfitry, If it had not produce-ti prosperity, it had at least been contemporaneous with it. Let their Lordships look at the stateof Scotland before thatsystem had begun to act; it was barbarous and confused in the extreme; whilst now, to use the colloquial but just expression of a Noble Friend near hint, the Scotch were the best conditioned people in Europe. He did not mean to say at the sante time that the Noble Earl (Liverpool) could convince hint of the benefit which would result from the extension of the measure, he should give his vote againet it : bet he thought that that Noble Earl was gratuitously increasing his difficulties at this period of commercial distress, by proposing a measure which was totally uncalled for. It would have been more dignified on his part not to persevere when he saw the sentiments of the whole people of Scotland, whether tight or wrong, so decidedly pronounced upon the subject. Ile regretted that it should have been thought necessary to appoint a Com mittee, for thoug►h it would not, of course, inquire into the so lidity of individual banks, the motives -of its appointment might be misunderstood, and might lime injurious effects in Scotland at a moment when suspicion was so keenly alive to all the circumstances.of banking establishments. Viscount MELVILLE thought that his Noble Friend had misunderstood the question. It was not whether 'the Coin.; mitten should be appointed, but whether the CoMmittee being appointed, it would not be proper to refer to it the materials necessary for carrying on the Inquiry. The Committee would then report upon the evidence which it examined, and any future measure would be founded on that. Report. As far as regarded the inquiry itself, the Noble Earl was mistaken, it' he thought that it was objected .to by those whom it was most likely to affect. Instead of objecting to, they rather courted inquiry ; and his Majesty's Ministers would have been blamed, bad they adopted another course than that now before their Lordships. The Earl of LIMERICK agreed with the Noble Earl (Aberdeen) that the experiment ought to have been tried in this country, before it was extended to either Scotland or Ire land. Why should a remedy be applied when there was no call for it ? What was there in Ireland that called for such a measure? The agitation produced by the introduction of the question had already tumbled the markets in that country 60 per cent. Slerchants did not come to market, and no one would purchase before they knew what was to become of their currency. The proportion of small notes was far greater in Ireland than in England, and if they were swept away by a rash measure, the certain result would be ruin, The Earl of LAUDERDALE had heard the Noble Earl opposite say that the origin and nature of the measure lay in the wish to restore confidence. Ile was at a loss to see how it could restore confidence in England, for he believed that its very discussion had injured it. But how could It restore con& deece in Scotland, where it had never been lost, neither the Noble Earl nor any other man living could tell. No men of character would wish to embark their capital' without a likeli hood of deriving a fair return from it. What would be the consequence of the new system P It would induce bankets to conduct the business in the English mode, and to pay no tote rest on the money deposited in their hands. Ile therefore un derstood perfectly well why bankers might be friendly to the measure; but it was the people who had grown prosperous under the present system—it was the people who would suffer. He had seen the Gentlemen who bad brought the various peti tions against the measure. They were anxious to answer the questions, not to support a particular doetritie, but fairly and frankly to satisfy the House and the public of what would be best for the coturay at large. And he had no doubt, that after hearing them, the Noble Earl (Liverpool) would not only feel disposed to remodel his measure, but that before the end cif the Committee, he would be more inclined to transfer the system long established in Scotland to England, than to ex tend his new fangled banking regulations from England to Scotland. - Earl GROSVENOR was understood to say, that it would have been better, had his Majesty's Ministers come down with a measure at once, instead of proposing the appointment of a Committee. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that they had thought it more consistent with their dignity, on a question on which a variety of opinions prevailed, to afford the means of a fair and full investigation, than to conic forward with a measure of their own. As to what a Noble Earl (Limerick) had said about Ire , land, he had been surprised at his argument. If It were true, that Scotland had not suffered in her banking system, the game could not be said of I rebind. She had suffered more than any other ; and it would he too much to say, that she would he iiiiite safe, because a new system of hacks had beets established in that country within the last threa.years, a system, which he believed to he good, but of the efficacy of which there was not yet sufficient time to jug e. As to the Committee, the subject was not to be decidet by the (roam) ' whether the state of the banking establishments in scotland and Ireland were such as it might to be. It would be considered with re ference not only to the feelings of the people, btu also to the commercial interests of Scotland. Within the last ten years Scotland had suffered as much and even more in commercial distress than England. Another question should be, whether under the present state of things and the commercial relations of this country, it was possible to support one system in one part of the United Kingdom, and a different one in another ? the Noble Eatrl (landerdale) might say, have your system, but let us keep our own; do not force yours upon . us. But could they in Scotland do without us ? Could they do without coming on the Bank of England ? Could they relieve their own distresses themselves without calling on our Government fir an issue of Exchequer hills, or on the Bank of England fir ad. %tutees, If they could do all that ; if they had no expecta tions whatever from - this country, and did not Want the aid of a single sovereign, then indeed they might remain as they were. But it' this were not the case—if in times of commer ciul distress they came to England for relief, then England and Scotland and England and Ireland were so far connected toge ther, that when a new system was established in England, it was hut fair to inquire whether it ought not to be extended to the others: He should not go farther at present into the ques tion. The Committee being appointed, it would be indecorous to do so. ' Let his Noble Friend (Lauderdale) come down to the Committee; let him convince its Al embers, and afterwards the House, that Scotland could manage her own affairs., sup port her own 'establishment, relieve her own distresses, and want nothing from England, and the necessity of a change would be superseded. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that had it not been for the new mode in which the Noble Earl chose to adruinis ter relief to the people of the country, Scotland would have no occlusion- to apply : for adVances to the Bank of Eng. of w hpm were whateveregis land. As to an issue of Exchequer Rillii, he would con tend that the Scotch people had as great a right, in times of dietress, to at.ply for it to the Government as the people of England. The argument of the Noble Earl, therefore, was wholly founded on his own practice, and not on the regular course of things. The Earl of 1,151 FR ICK explained. The Duke of ATHOL believed that if a mea sure like that proposed had been introduced some years ago, there would be a great difference in the amount of taxes paid by Scotland, from Want of means to pay them. Viscount CLIFDEN wished for protection against country bankers. In hull nine bankers had failed in the country parts of Ireland, anti one in Dublin. it was a ease of' great import ance to prevent those conntry banks from again springing up.

ALE-HOUSE LICENSES. Mr. ESTCOURT, in purseance of hi* notice, rose to move - for leave to, bring in a Bill to regulate the Licensing of Ale. houses in England. He stated some of the alterations he de. sired to effect. One was to protect the parties interested in ob. taming licenses from the dangers of inadvertency or neglect, by requiting the Magistrates to adjourt the first Meeting for purpose of granting licenses, to future day in the same month, so that there shoul d in effect be two licensing days instead of one. Another very useful regulation he thought would be to cause notice to be sent to all die Magistrates' and Parish Officers of the district of the days appointed for licensing, as well - at to the PubliCent Annther was, that the body of every license ,i!ould contain the names ofall the Magistrates present when it was granted. and that it should be signed by a majority of them. 11 Übl E seconded the motion, and recomineinied the con. solidation of all the Acts upon this subject. Ile animadverted upon the itiMses which prevailed and recommended that the system should be more open than it now was. After a few words from Mr. Loci:HART, Sit M. W. Rzu. it V, and Mr. ErreottaT in reply, leave was given to brine in the Bill. i. - 651FOSITION FOR ASSESSED TAXES. Sir M. ,%T• RIDLEY begged to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite whether it wait intended to allow the Act per. mitting compositions for Assessed Taxes to expire. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was under. stood to say, that the subject had not yet been fully con sidered, And he could not therefore give any decided answer to the question. USURY LAWS. Mr. lIEATIICOTE suggested that it would he convenient to postpone till after the holidays the consideration of the Usury Laws. The Right Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Ekellequer) having promised to devote his attention to the subject. Mr. Serjeant ONSLO\V was understood to express his acquiescence. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCII EWE R observed, that there appeared to be a disposition to throw upon hie halide the bantling, which certainly was none of his.—(A lough;)_ , All that had been said on the part of Ministers was, that when the Bill of the lion. and Learned Gentleman 'came on I'o the second .reading, the views of Governthent on the subject would be ex. plained. As the time when this could must conveniently take piece was in some measure referred to hint, he would take the liberty of suggesting the 10th of April. After a short conversation between Mr. Ileatheote, Mr. Sere geant Onslciiv, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Bill was finally ordered to be read a second time on Monday the 17th April. COMillirrEEofsuppis—civiLcONTlNGENClES. The House h;tving resolved itself into a Committee' of Supply, Mr. HERRIES reminded the house that a Vote for 100,000 had been already taken towards the Civil Con tingenciett of the year. The Vote, he had now to move far, issitler this head, with for 200,0001. Mr. 111.1.111: objected to the. Estimates. Ile . thooght .the country was nut in a situation to pay half a million or money a year for A miniteattiore. The expence of the Miniater it taint ('on. suls, both in Europe and South America, was enormous, atid he entreated the Committee to consider whether we could go on in this increasing ratio of expence. Ile thought the Missions to the minor European Courts, possessing no influence, rtyl-; gether unnecessary, and that those to the greater Powers were upon a settle of extravagance entirely unjustifiable. The ..filis- Idol to Paris was charged in the estimates the enormous 'sure of 30,0001., a sum greater than was paid by America foe the whole of her Diplomatic establishments. In the year 1792, the whole at' our expence under this head of service , was 105,0001. In the present year it was little short of half a'mil lion. Our Ministers abroad were paid so well as to be above their work ; reduce them one half and the work would be better done. Thole estimates went on increasing year after year.... Ile saw there was no less a sum charged, for repairing the house of the Embassy at Paris, than 12,0001. These things went on increasing, and he had no doubt that t 1 'expellee of the :Em bassy at Paris, would in a very few yearn be 50,0001. it it were not checked. The lion. Member then enumerated in detail the different sums charged for the expencus of our Minister. at different Comte, and -contended that in every instance the' charge was excessive, Mr. Secretary Cit NNI NO rose and said, that lie would en deuvour to tbllow tile Hon.
